Porsche 997-based "Mayhem" Reaches 234.6 mph

Tempe-based Evolution MotorSports says it has established a new record for "a fully street weighted and street legal" Porsche 997 twin turbo. Dubbed the "Mayhem," this über-Porsche clocked 234.6 mph in the standing mile at the Texas Mile event held in Goliad, Texas.

With Porsche records as prevalent as variations of theiconic 911, we'll leave it to the blogosphere to debate who reigns supreme in the world of Porsche tuning. But Todd Zuccone, founder and president of Evolution Motorsports, has already fired a warning to the competition.

"Now we have another reason the so called `tuners' of the USA market will not compete with my company," said Zuccone, in what can politely be described as a `confident' tone. "There were noticeably none of the typical Porsche tuning shops at this year's Texas Mile. So, we now plan to take our record setting Porsche to Europe to see who will step up."

We expect Porsche tuning powerhouses like 9ff, Ruf and Gemballa to gladly take up that challenge.
